Adrianna Dingus — Class of 2032 volleyball recruiting profile, Michio Chicago Bluesmoke #23

For high-school coaches
Why she projects.
Four things a program can bank on today — each tied to a dated test, a published ranking or a verified schedule, not a highlight reel.
5'8"
at age 12
Near the 99th percentile on the CDC stature-for-age chart. Already inside the Division II outside-hitter height range (5'8"–6'0") before high school, with growth still ahead.
23"
approach jump
Her 6'8" broad jump ranks 99th among 115 girls aged 11–13 tested at the same lab, and her 19.5" standing vertical already sits in the published college-average band (18–20").
USAV
Junior Nationals 2026
Starter on a top-10 Illinois club's top 12s team through three national qualifiers and GJNC in Minneapolis. Now a 7th grader starting for the 14s Bluesmoke group this fall.
3 yrs
year-round club
Rec-league team MVP in 4th grade, pulled into Michio's top team as a practice player the same season, and now jump- and speed-training three days a week with published results.
Runway
Two club seasons before she walks into a high-school gym.
Programs that build a relationship now get a 5'8"-plus front-row athlete with national-level reps before tryouts in fall 2028.

Benchmark bands are published reference ranges for female athletes (OVR Performance, FitBack/Tomkinson et al., NCAA Scholarship Guide) and are shown for context only. Attack touch has not been measured; with a typical standing reach for 5'8" (about 7'4"–7'5"), a 23" approach projects to roughly 9'3" — an estimate pending a measured reach.
